<<I am not in favor of social engineering legislation of any kind, the worst of which mucks with the tax code.>>

Wrong. You are very in favor of social engineering that provides full access to career ladders for women. Your contention has been that through the natural evolution of traditional roles which are stagnant, women have been short changed in a dynamically changing society and culture. Your ideas in the face of changing what is and protecting the social fix as you want it to be.

Michelle, did you not read my post on the flat tax? It was directed to you. To recapitulate, most conservatives favor a vat or a flat tax, or a tax with mild progressivity (in one or two steps), and the elimination of all tax preferences. This is called "tax simplification", and it means that most conservatives do not, in fact, favor the use of the tax code for social engineering, certainly not in the long run.
